Eat Your Oats Banana Muffins

Heat oven to 350

You will be making 12 muffins.  I use a silicone baking pan but you could use a regular pan and use liners.

I use a food processor for this.  And assemble the dry ingredients first.

In the food processor bowl fitted with an s blade:

2 cups of old fashioned oats that you will process until a flour (you can reserve 1/2 cup of the oats and add them in whole for texture as I do some time)

After you have coarse oat flour add:

2 Tablespoons flax meal

1 Teaspoon of cinnamon

1/2 Tablespoon of baking powder 

1 Teaspoon baking soda

Give this a quick whiz to incorporate and then put it in a mixing bowl.

Now add the wet ingredients to the food processor:

4 over ripe bananas

1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce, crushed pineapple, or pumpkin puree ... You choose ½ cup of your favorite or what you have on hand. I used applesauce

1/2 cup unsweetened juice… apple, pineapple … your choice

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Puree this mixture and then add it to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.  

Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes

I chopped up some walnuts and vegan chocolate chips to put on top!   

These are great to take along with you when you need a quick breakfast and your can't make your daily oats!  

They are super good and pretty easy to make.  

You should eat oats every day as part of a heart healthy diet!  

As always… dairy and oil free.

Enjoy and stay Compassionate!
